valentine’s day is just around the corner, and many guests have been reaching out to us in search of romantic gift ideas that will make their beloved feel truly special. if you’re seeking a gift that will stand out in their memory and be treasured forever, nothing says "romance" quite like a beautiful rose-cut diamond. with a 500-year history of being widely used in jewelry, these stunning diamonds are known for their soft, romantic glimmer— making them the perfect choice for a memorable and unique valentine's day gift.
what’s the difference between a rose-cut and a brilliant-cut diamond?
one of the things that set rose-cut diamonds apart is their cut. unlike traditional round brilliant diamonds, rose cut diamonds have a flattened bottom and a domed top, giving them a soft elegant glimmer instead of a brilliant sparkle. this makes them particularly well-suited to lovers of vintage-inspired jewelry, or anyone who likes to branch away from typical jewelry styles, opting for a more unique— yet still understated and elegant— look.
the history of rose cut diamonds
the romance of rose-cut diamonds stems from their rich history, harkening back to past eras. the rose-cut diamond has existed for centuries, and was a popular choice for jewelry during the georgian and victorian eras. the diamonds were cut by hand and designed to resemble the petals of a rose— hence the name “rose-cut diamond”!
choose rose-cuts for romance
a piece of jewelry featuring a rose-cut diamond not only symbolizes your love for your partner, but also has a timeless and unique touch of history and nostalgia that is becoming increasingly beloved by modern jewelry lovers. by choosing something a little more unique, like a rose-cut diamond, you’ll show your partner how much thoughtfulness went into their gift. you know what they say— it’s the thought that counts!
